First of all, I’d like to highlight that I’m aligned with your vision that WordPress has to be User Experience driven and focus on the editor, the REST API, and the customizer. And I very much appreciate that you took your time and knowledge to make these things happen.

I’m not a web developer, but it looks like WordPress was always good at evolving without breaking compatibility, for instance, the theme I developed for my website in 2013 is still working pretty well, and it’s compatible with new WordPress versions and the same plugins. Please, correct me if I’m wrong.

Besides maintaining compatibility, my primary concern is that Gutenberg is not a real front-end editing experience, like @iseulde (Ella Van Dorpe) solution or like Squarespace, maybe it improves only the blog posting experience, maybe. If you are designing a landing page, a product page or even a more elaborate blog post, clicking the preview button and changing to another browser tab back and forth is not a solution #worthit. (Not counting how many times I published the post/page instead of previewing it).

PS: I don’t have any affiliation with premium WP themes or plugins, nor any website builder like Squarespace or Wix. I just love WordPress, and I wish it a bright future.
